[NSRCA-discussion] Painting

[John Ferrell]

The secret is in the paint. Concept is so good you can do a great job even 
with a cheap external mix airbrush like the the one Harbor freight puts on 
sale for less than $5.  If you use one of those make sure you regulate the 
air pressure to 20 pounds or less. Practice on old milk jugs and plastic 
containers.  The down side is that you will have to hurry with the airbrush 
but the small paint container will help you keep the weight down. The paint 
will weigh the same in the can as it does on the airplane.
Don't get the idea you can sand Concept off and do it again. Sanding Concept 
is something to avoid!
